Last Time Out
The Tampa Bay Rowdies defeated the University of Tampa Spartans 4-1 on Wednesday night. Maicon Santos scored a couple of first-half goals, including a stunning 40-yard lob, to run his streak of consecutive matches with a goal to three. Corey Hertzog drew and converted a penalty kick and Jeff Michaud scored in second-half stoppage time to lead the Rowdies to their highest scoring output of the preseason.
Goalkeeper Matt Pickens made his preseason debut in the second half, tallying his first 45 minutes of action in 2015.
The Rowdies are now 4-2-2 (W-T-L) in the preseason campaign with three matches remaining for the season opener against the defending champion San Antonio Scorpions in Texas on April 4.
Roster
Head Coach Thomas Rongen is expected to let his starting lineup play as long as they can against the Bulls to start to get into the rhythm of playing 90 minute matches before the season. The full Rowdies roster of 25 players will be available, plus one trialist midfielder, Verneri Valimaa.
